The Brief

Summary

We need a logo design that works well on a white background and can be used in various formats such as a print, web, and embroidered on apparel. Please see our current logo at www.keylimetie.com. We are very happy with the color and font used however the black background has caused problem with print material. We also need a logo/image that can be used with the example text logo.

Company name

Audience Profile:
Q: Please describe your existing audience.

Perception/Tone/Guidelines:
Q: Do you have any colors in mind for your logo? (if so, why?)
Green is one color that should be incorporated due to the keylime name.
Q: Do you have any specific images or icons in mind that you would definitely like to see incorporated into your logo?
Probably makes sense to include a tie and/or lime. The necktie/bowtie is probably necessary to avoid confusion with keylime PIE.
